She felt the icy and heavy texture, then gently closed her eyes.
It was soon over.
To end it all before winter arrives, and then be reborn.
Iris Harris opened her eyes again, and all that remained in them was calm.
It's the gaze of someone who has made all their decisions and will not change anything anymore.

Dinner.
Perhaps due to a guilty conscience, Lady Hyde seemed preoccupied, ate only a few bites, and left the table claiming she had no appetite.
In contrast, Iris Harris had a good appetite and even served herself a second bowl of rice.
Brandan Hyde watched her relaxed expression, then cautiously asked, "Is there something to celebrate?"
Iris Harris picked up a piece of food, "No. I'm just purely in a good mood."
Brandan Hyde watched her eat her greens without changing her expression, and thought she indeed seemed in a good mood today.
Even a meat eater can chew on some greens; it really is a good mood.
